What You Should Do

The following table tells you how to respond to a system outage. If you can tolerate a delay in accessing files on a failed host system, follow the procedure that is described under Short Outages. If you cannot tolerate a delay, follow the procedure that is described under Long Outages.

Type of System	Length of Outage	Procedure for Responding

Remote	Short or Long	.After the remote system becomes active again, restart CA-L-Serv on that system. Make sure you issue any CA-L-Serv commands that you normally issue at startup time.
Host	Short	After the host system becomes active again, restart CA-L-Serv on that system.
	Long	See following procedure.

Follow these steps:

Choose a new host system.
Stop the file server on the new host system by issuing the following command:
```
DETACH FILESERVER
```
Restart the file server on the new host system by issuing the following command:
```
ATTACH FILESERVER SERVERTYPE(HOST)

On the new host system, issue CA-L-Serv startup commands that you typically issue on a host system. (Including the ADDPOOL and ADDFILE commands.)
